I know a lotta people out there aren't really fans of Ellen DeGeneres cuz I've never met one who seemed to click. For example, there's a certain feel I do get when I encounter long time fans. The only thing that seems strange is I've met people who watch her a lot. Nothing seemed to click, like no common reverence for her. Other things to notice are her past and what she represents for the world, being born around 1960, the way people born around 1950, like Karen Carpenter, who passed away, do.
All else I can say, too, is as I've always felt.. be ready before you watch someone like Ellen or, like, Oprah who I think is off air.
All else is I know people who watch her or maybe they also watch a lotta TV. It's hard to know where they're coming from. They seem very ambiguous and jaded. I am guessing their parents had nothing else to turn on, like how I watched Mary Poppins a lot when I was 2. It seems hard to think that there would be another Julie Andrews.
Ellen DeGeneres has a lot of fans and is very popular. It's just hard to reach out to her biggest fans. You'd expect they'd be found online somehow.
